Can the Health Department force my landlord to make repairs to my house or apartment?
No, Cole County Health Department has no authority to force landlords to make repairs. Our suggestion is to read the Landlord/Tenant Law – Missouri Landlord-Tenant Law booklet. This booklet is published by the MO Attorney General’s Office and lists the responsibilities under MO Law not only for the landlord, but for the tenant.
